Sec. 533. Acquisition or change of use of real property

    (a) To the extent practicable, prior to a commitment to acquire any 
real property situated in an urban area, the Administrator shall notify 
the unit of general local government exercising zoning and land-use 
jurisdiction over the land proposed to be purchased of his intent to 
acquire such land and the proposed use of the property. In the event 
that the Administrator determines that such advance notice would have an 
adverse impact on the proposed purchase, he shall, upon conclusion of 
the acquisition, immediately notify such local government of the 
acquisition and the proposed use of the property.
    (b) In the acquisition or change of use of any real property 
situated in an urban area as a site for public building, the 
Administrator shall, to the extent he determines practicable--
        (1) consider all objections made to any such acquisition or 
    change of use by such unit of government upon the ground that the 
    proposed acquisition or change of use conflicts or would conflict 
    with the zoning regulations or planning objectives of such unit; and
        (2) comply with and conform to such regulations of the unit of 
    general local government having jurisdiction with respect to the 
    area within which such property is situated and the planning and 
    development objectives of such local government.
